One interesting stat.... Drake's Jonah Jackson was a lightly recruited junior college kid from John A. Logan CC near Carbondale. His only other offers were from Abilene Christian and Louisiana Monroe. He was 5-6 from the floor tonight, and all 6 shots were from three point, for 15 points. This season he is 65-165 (39.4%) overall, and 65-161 (40.4%) from three. He was 0-4 on 2-point shots, and all 65 shots he has made this season are three pointers! He is the epitome of a designated 3-point shooter, and all he does is help Drake win. It's another example of how much value a kid has if he can make shots, especially threes.
Bradley has had great shooters like Trevor Trimpe, Aaron Zobrist, Anthony Parker, Jeremy Crouch, Will Franklin, Andrew Warren, and Nate Kennell. All those players rank inside the top 10 all-time career 3-point percentage leaders for Bradley. And all 7 of them played on winning teams that posted multiple 20+ win seasons and all 7 of them played in multiple post-season tournaments. It takes great shooters to win, and I hope the Bradley coaches continue to recruit such great shooters
